Book 5: Chapter 10: Yun Kun The Prime Minister

The state funeral of the demon emperor was held for seven days. Within the imperial capital, all citizens must wear white, and in the mourning of the whole nation, the former demon emperor was sent to the Royal Valley where all the demon emperors except the first emperor were buried.

After talking to the Black Snake King, Bai Qiuran also took Su Xiangxue to the imperial capital. The two stood on the top of the highest building in the capital, watching the long line of honor guards sending out the huge coffin of the demon emperor.

After a long time, Su Xiangxue slowly said:

“You see, the Demon Emperor still has some means to win the hearts of the people. Looking at it this way, most of the demons in the imperial capital are sincerely mourning.”

“I thought you were feeling so sad about the death of your blood relatives.”

Bai Qiuran was a little speechless.

“Are you telling me that for a long time, are you analyzing the ability of the Demon Emperor?”

“I am a demonic cultivator without blood and tears.”

Su Xiangxue rolled her eyes and continued:

“But if you can think of showing me this, I’m still very happy, thank you.”

“Ok.”

Bai Qiuran nodded.

“You have a conscience.”

“In this way, the Demon Emperor is still quite capable. It’s just that he was born at an untimely time and just happened to meet you, otherwise, he might have accomplished something great…”

Su Xiangxue pinched a bunch of beautiful hair that fell on her chest, and said quietly:

“Such a person must have left behind a force before his death, such as the royal guards who transported him, and the prime minister who presided over the ceremony for him.”

“That’s a Yun Kun.”

Wise Immortal suddenly said:

“A beast that existed in ancient times. I did not expect that there is an offspring of them in the demon realm.”

“Yun Kun?”

Bai Qiuran thought of the kind of mythical beast he had seen in the classics before and asked:

“It’s the kind of sacred fish that grows thousands of miles in length, and has to make huge waves when it turns over?”

“That is Kun, a beast belonging to the gods.”

Wise Immortal replied:

“However, although this Yun Kun is not as big and strong as Kun, he has inherited some of its skills. At least the prime minister is much stronger than the demon kings whom you traded with. His cultivation is already at the peak of the Physique Integration stage. Moreover, it seems that he deliberately suppressed his cultivation.”

“You said… Does he know the whereabouts of the map of the First Demon Emperor’s Mausoleum kept by the royal family?”

Bai Qiuran looked in the direction where the prime minister Yun Kun disappeared for a long time and then said.

“What do you want to do?”

Su Xiangxue asked:

“I remind you in advance that using violence with this kind of person is useless, and it might be counterproductive. He may destroy the map to not let it fall into your hand.”

“Of course I know, so I have to find a way to push him into a situation where he has to compromise with me.”

Bai Qiuran smiled.

“The Black Snake King wants to seize the throne. How can it be so easy? This kid doesn’t understand me at all, so I won’t be led by the struggle of a group of juniors.”

“Do you have an idea?”

Su Xiangxue asked with eyes flashing.

“There is such a preliminary idea.”

Bai Qiuran replied:

“I’ll tell you when I go back, now do you want to stroll around in the capital, or just go back?”

“It’s hard to tell, naturally I have to go shopping again.”

How could Su Xiangxue miss such a good opportunity?

“Then let’s go down.”

Bai Qiuran wanted to jump from this tall building into the imperial city. Seeing this, Su Xiangxue hurriedly reached out and grabbed him.

“What are you doing?”

“You are a human, do you intend to appear in the demon race’s imperial capital in such a grand manner?”

While talking, Su Xiangxue found out some strange parts.

“Let me put on makeup for you, and you can go on.”

——————-

On the streets of the imperial capital, with the departure of the Demon Emperor’s coffin, a little vitality was gradually restored here.

Although the Prime Minister issued an order, it would take three days of mourning for the whole city, and during that, the market would be closed, but some restaurants, pubs, and teahouses in the capital city have already opened in the afternoon.

Even if they really felt sad about the demon emperor’s death, they still had to live on. The market could not be opened for three days, which has caused many residents in the city to have insufficient food in their homes, and they must get food in restaurants on the street.

Therefore, after the demon emperor’s funeral team left the imperial capital, demon races began to move on the streets one after another.

On the street side near the canal, two “demons” also walked along the riverbank in tandem, attracting the attention of countless people.

Walking in the front is a beautiful “female demon” holding a paper umbrella. She has black hair and crescent eyebrows. Her temperament appeared to be like an untainted lotus in a mud swamp, but at the same time, she had a strange temptation to arouse the most primitive desire for possession of men.

With a veil on her face, covering the lower half of her face, she walked along the river bank. The male demons around were a little eager to move, but when they saw the white dragon scales appeared behind the ears of this female “demon”, all of them gave up.

Bloodline was an insurmountable distance between demon races, and demons with dragon bloodline were high-ranking elites at last. These demons could not be offended by ordinary demons like them.

And behind this beautiful demon, a male demon with white hair and white eyebrows followed. Looking at the markings on his face, everyone could tell that he must be a tiger demon with a relatively high level pureblood, who was a servant or guard of the female demon.

These two demons were naturally Su Xiangxue and Bai Qiuran after they have disguised. For Su Xiangxue it’s easy. She had the blood of the demon race herself. As long as she activated her blood a little bit to let the demon bloodline in her body show its characteristics, she could transform herself into a high-level demon.

Bai Qiuran had more trouble. His own spell resistance was too high so the transformation technique that Su Xiangxue had cast for him didn’t have any effect, and he himself didn’t have the True Qi to cast the transformation technique. So after a long time of tinkering, Su Xiangxue could only use a brush to paint a few strokes on his face, pretending to be a tiger demon.

The feeling of being stuck with paint on his face made this guy very upset. Every two steps he took, he raised his hand and scratched the edges of the paint carefully.

“Be careful not to scratch it.”

Su Xiangxue said helplessly:

“If you’re exposed, you might be attacked by the surrounding demons…”

“I’m afraid of them.”

Bai Qiuran refused to admit defeat, but still put his hand down.

It’s rare to accompany this girl on a trip. If something went wrong because of a fight, Su Xiangxue probably would be angry with him for a long time.

“But is there really no human in this city?”

Bai Qiuran followed Su Xiangxue, took the umbrella from her hand, and covered her head.

“There will definitely be, but most of them just stay here for business and will not stay for long.”

Su Xiangxue replied:

“The high-level demons in this city are not regarded the low-level ones as members of the same race, let alone humans.”

“It means that if there is a human being who can’t figure out what happened here, even if it’s just a small contradiction, he must be unable to get out of this city, right?”

“It’s almost that.”

Coincidentally, when the two of them had just finished talking, a certain demon clan shouted at a high price in the next street.

“Help! Come on! Human is killing people on the street!”
